and so here's why because at the moment what that you know what's been done with paper all the harry reid is still pushing forward with it so they say that it might be postponed you know how congress likes to wear it and they're going to try to do it sneakily at some other time so charles gabriel asked a question if so but actually become law. and red is gone what do you plan to work on next and that's a good that's a good question what do you do do you leave the country and go start a business elsewhere that's depressing to be clear i am no longer c.e.o. of reddit i'm on the board of directors the team at reddit is running it all it's obviously doing a great job i give advice right and last year i started in the story with a buddy of mine steve who's my cofounder read it called it like it's a travel search website and fortunately because it doesn't have user generated content it is. it is the kind of thing that would kind of awkwardly fall into that very gray area if these bills were to become law and so as an entrepreneur for a site like that and like all the others that are actually us

that the senate refuses to act. 20 some job bills, 27 plus jobs bills sitting in the senate that harry reidld act on today that would begin to bring some certainty to america's job creators. folks, we can do better than this year the senate needs to come back to work. harry needs to lead america. america deserves better. i want to heal to my good friend and colleague, representative todd young. >> ladies and gentlemen, the american people deserve a budget. it is the first step to fixing washington. it's what those of us who are serving our constituents lay out our priorities. we put it all on the line. we establish priorities and we indicate where we stand, we present our vision for america. washington is clearly broken. it so that all of us here from our constituents when we travel home. it's something we here in our offices here in washington. the question is how we going to fix it and when are we going to fix it? i think the root of the problems is that too few people in washington are getting specific. once we get specific, lay it out in a scorable written plan, then that allows republi

also hear live this morning a ra conversation with senate majority leader, harry reid, the mocrat lader of nevada. is a new tone possible in t new year? can anythi get accomplished in theidst of the 2012 campaign? >>> go morning. all the focus on south carolina, where gop voters will go to the polls next saturday. this weekend a group of promine republican christian conservatives gave a boost to rick santorum, andhat was a last ditch effort to stop romney's march to the nomination. and what will it all mean? with us, former speak of the house, newt gingrich. speaker gingrich, welcome to "meethe press." >> good to be with you. >> you laid it out this week and you said there was one way to sp romney in south carolina. this is what you said to fox news. >> if we consolidate conservatives, we could beat romney by a big margin. >> we heard from social conservatives in texas, and they said let's get behind rick santorum. you feel pressure to consolidate behind rick santorum and get out of the race? >> that was highly exaggerated. we split that vote, and as of noon today, others who were there

to slow down the process you know harry reid's trying to pass this assumes they get back in a week it's going to be his first order of business but they're saying wait a minute hold on there's internet security problems there's first amendment problems and then later in the day just like an hour ago like you said the democratic senator from maryland ben cardin who is also co-sponsor the spill said that he wouldn't vote for it as it stands right now you know he had prior said before that he was going to vote for it but now he's been here chris constituents constituents she's change his mind so i think the internet activism and all the people calling their senators writing into their senators is really starting to help because we can see that even people who we thought were their biggest supporters are finally wavering well you know i think that you know there's always an element when constituents start writing and start calling into their senators but to me the one of the most interesting things here is the online activist community do you think that this is really something new tha

>>> we're back and joined by sena majority leade harry reid.t t talk about what is going on in washington first. this is not a good time to be a shington insider. look at the disapproval of congress at 66%. as you are going into this new year, democrats and jobpproval of democrats may be more specific, and what can you as the majority leader or the president do to change that? >> first of all, i understa the frustration of the american people and i feel the wa but understand that we have ha obstructionism on steroids. the repulican leader, and m counterpart, mitch mcconnell. we spent months on thin that used happen matter factually. raising the debt ceiling. we did it for presidenteagan 18 times, and we spent 2 1/2 months doing that. so the nber one go -- i hope the republicans have learned a lesson as extendsing the payroll tax, and that was disaster for them. can yobelieve they were opposed to lowering taxes? so i would hope that they understand that everything doesn't have to be afight. legislations are made tobe together and compromise, and

is obviously far from over but there was a noble victory against it today senate majority leader harry reid has changed his mind on voting on the protect i.p.x. after one hundred twelve congressman spoke out against the bill in a very successful online protest and mobilization earlier this week and it tweet earlier today reid said in light of recent events i've decided to postpone tuesday's vote on the protect ip act they are both listed now as delayed meaning that they could be brought back brought back or left to die but for now there are no plans in either house or the senate to vote or further debate on either bill so that's basically a tally in the will win column after all harry reid was just on meet the press last sunday extolling the virtues of pippa as a job creating bill and he's not the only one the thinking is we'll see senator chuck schumer pick a sponsor also took to twitter to tell opponents that congress is in fact paying attention to its constituents tweet it you've been hurt it has been pulled so we can find a better solution and we should note that pippa sisters bill sr b

theorist said harry reid will infiltrate. still have though factions there, forcing out the current chair woman essentially. they still have a lot of problems. john ensign, our former governor jim gibbons went a long way in hurting the republican brand in nevada. >> last time around in 2008 if i remember correctly it was mitt romney and ron paul, we didn't see much of john mccain at all in nevada. what are you seeing so far in terms of what kind of investments the candidates are making there, how will they pay off? >> well, mitt romney as you mentioned has been running for president for six years, he has been here essentially all that time. he didn't leave in 2008, he still has the infrastructure set up. he won the caucus in 2008, 51%, you mentioned the john mccain didn't even campaign here, ron paul finished in second with 14%. i think romney is the favorite but the poll folks are more organized than they were in 2008, rachel. i wouldn't discount them, paul is invested fairly heavily on television, also mostly positive ads.

that's the call from senate majority leader harry reid.s time to rebuild america by working together to create jobs. and he says the on way to do that is to leave the tea party extremism behind. >> i hope that the pea party doesn't have the influence in this next year that they had in the previous year. i hope the republicans will understand as i think they learned in the last week of last year, that they can't be led over the cliff by this extremism in the republican party with all i ask is for the republicans to understand what legislation is all about. alisyn: here for a fair and balanced debate, day sprid webb, he's cofounder of tea party 365, and sally colmes. this is her first official debut as a fox news contributor. congratulations. now you will have to work even harder. let's go back to what said. david, is there any grain of truth? has the tea party at times been too is real. >> if you call extreme wanting fiscal discipline and wanting a limited government that's constitutional, i'm going for extreme. harry reid allowed 17 bills

. >> and the hypocrisy by harry reid here is off the charts. mean, he pioneered this strategy to block bush, a lot of the people advisors said you should do what president obama has done this time, bush says, no, i don't want to have that fight. i don't believe i have the constitutional authority to do it. obama now that he's done it, harry reid says, hey, great, override us in the senate. >> and it's a debate. eugene generally sensible, a-- >> a legal analyst. >> and saying, but the plain language of the dodd frank bill which created this bureaucratic monster says it-- the senate has not confirmed a director. ultimately it will be bad politics because it's more uncertainty over the economy. every decision that comes out of this building now is going to be-- face a big legal challenge and uncertainty, whether it gets enacted. >> kim, what response should the republicans make to this? and suing probably won't make much difference. what can they do actually using their powers? >> they won't sue, this'll continue to hold pro forma sessions and mak

and google but is this one battle the old man is destined to lose so by antipas supporters like harry reid and the top lawyer for n.b.c. universal have been peddling a few myths about the legislation which we need to break down and wikipedia has announced that they are going to blackout their site on january eighteenth so the opposition is proving they will not rest so let's analyze some of these developments joining me to discuss it is declan mccullagh chief political correspondent for seen at second thanks for joining us tonight and first i guess what your comments on the white house coming out this week and releasing this statement that as it is they will not support these pieces of legislation resupplies it all. a little surprised because they announced their opposition it's qualified opposition it is they're not saying we hate it there's no way we'll ever support it they're saying right now it's really not the best approach and generally what happens is that there's a formal process the white house office of management and budget releases a statement very nuanced here they posted it o

host: harry reid on "me depress ." in response, mitch mcconnell said -- -- "meet the press." respond to senator reid and this push-pull moment. we will also talk about the tea party element. guest: what he is saying is what house leaders are sensing. they need to do something, rally around something that they are for. in the eyes of a lot of people, they are seen as being against a lot of things. raising the debt ceiling, funding the government, and they are seen as not compromising. that is not what they want going into an election year. they are going to baltimore this week on the house republican retreat and they need to rally around some sort of way forward, or else they could be in trouble. ack, harry reid talking about the tea party, saying they are to blame partly for this gridlock. guest: polls show the two-party is not a force that it used to be. we have seen that with mitt romney. the tea party had never been fond of mitt romney. they are weaker than before and will certainly be a question into this election how strong they will be in 2012. host: ron from new hampshi

harry reid is bringing this to a screeching halt today. it is big. a mystery illness from high school girls at one school. they ruled out what they do not have. but what do they have? the doctors treating them are here to explain it all in minutes. >> we can't accept that because the symptoms do not coincide with conversion disorder. and even if it was conversion disorder, and that was the symptoms of it, we don't know what caused it. why are we getting 12, 14, 16 girls all sick that go to leroy high school? that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm. for half the calories plus veggie nutrition. could've had a v8. bill: here's a new one out of iran. this time the regime is taking on barbie. there are reports police in tehran shut down dozens of toy of their arms are swinging they can't control themselves. >> if my daughter had a diagnosis and i would as a parent i would tell you that i'm not a doctor, i don't care about hipaa. i care about getting these kids better. >> this is not the only type of issue that occurred in the nation. there have been out b

>> harry reid shows out of touch with reality he is.s nothing extreme about the constitution. there is nothing extreme about a balanced budget and washington living within their means. that is exactly what the tea party movement's about. we'll continue to fight this. bill: he is suggesting that the party is losing influence. this is also what he said on nbc. roll this. >> i hope that tea party doesn't have the influence in this next year they had in the previous year. that because it has been really bad for this country and i understand, i repeat, why the american people feel the way they do. i think the tea party is dying out as economy is getting better. bill: what about that last comment, dying out, amy? >> he couldn't be more wrong bill. look, this is a man that, he is the leader of the united states senate and under this democratic-controlled senate they have not passed a budget in almost 1,000 days. that is almost three years. that is unacceptable that is not doing the work of the american people. and that is exactly why the tea p

harry reid presiding over the u.s. senate issuing those words, we will remain in pro forma sessions to prevent recess appointments, and this president, whose justice department put together literally dozens of pages to defend this departure were constitutional tradition to defend this rejection of 200 years of congressional president to defend this going around congress, said, no, we think you can do it. majority of the united states senate knew you couldn't do it. framers of the constitution knew you couldn't do it. and this president, as if it was nothing, this is what troubles me the most, mr. speaker, as if it was nothing pulled together a press conference and said i'm doing it any way. richard crordray. this is a confirmation that didn't occur during a recess, didn't occur during a recess. the president made his nomination while the senate was absolutely in session. the senate voted, mr. speaker, and did not confirm. could not get the 60 votes necessary to move forward on the confirmation. took the vote. couldn't

i wonder if he will say we need harry reid and nancy pelosi and my dear friend the chair of the democratic national committee know that florida ain't on the table. >> and we need to let president obama, harry reid, nancy pelosi, and my dear friend the chairman of the national committee -- >> we need to let them no that florida ain't on the table. take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependancy. take your message of enslaving the entrepreneur will and spirit of the american people somewhere else. you can take it to europe. you can take it to the bottom of the sea. you can take it to the north pole. but get the hell out of the united states of america. >> i don't know. i think the crowd went for it. >> that was my stunted half brother, guner. we lost him a couple years back. they are looking for him. he likes to hide. inflammatory, perhaps extreme. there seems to be a double standard. for 40 years we have had outspoken black leftists. i came up with a list earlier i won't go through. but anywhere from the black panthers -- >> america don't come around,

one of them, for example, how harry reid ensured not that jobs were created with blue mountain, maybe called or nevada geothermal but an insolvent companies with loans that were due got a new loan guarantee that was simply moving $80 million from right in the door and right out the door to the previous creditor. they simply paid off a loan. >> greta: i'm looking at that, nevada geothermal, that was already an economic trouble and received $98.5 million. i suppose the fact that no private venture capitalists they would never discuss, no private venture capitalist wants to donate money. apparently the government does. you say it's political favorite tsm. i'm just willing to give the benefit of the doubt. another one cbs, sun power, $12.5 billion loan guarantee last fall. this happened after a french oil company took over. i don't know why we're helping this french oil company. it's scandalous with this money. who are these people that are okaying these loans? >> a good example in the indication of blue mountain, nevada geothermal, this is one that harry reid was touting personally but m

argument before the supreme court earlier the clinton justice department took the same position, harry reidats taken the same position as me. but yet because of pure political expediency, because the constitutional rules weren't in his favor, president obama shredded it and did unconstitutional recess appointments. >> greta: wasn't the whole point of not going to a real recess to make sure he couldn't do make the recess appointments and it's been routine going back to presidents, president reagan did them and president bush did them. so it was like it depends on who turn it is to play around with this little rule? >> that is why we didn't go into a recess. but congress has the clear and sole authority to make its rules and to determine what is a recess. that is directly in the constitution. again this has been acknowledged and agreed upon by everyone before last week including even the obama administration's own assistant solicitor general of 2010. >> greta: so stick around and do the job and vote on his watchdog appointment or not? >> the senate and house have been coming in every three da

i think that harry reid made the right call.bipartisan bill in the house and senate, they made the right call. the question is now, where do we go from here and i think as long as people are thinking about these are very afluent people in the hollywood community that were on one side. it was more complicated than that. even to entertainment side, 98% people that lose their jobs when content is stolen, it's people making $55,000 a year. these are not the ones that walk on the red carpet on oscar night, they are the ones that are laying the carpet. i do not think that people understood that the products that were counterfeit on websites around the world, if they understood that it would have had a different outcome. obviously this was a loss. no way else to describe it. but the problem doesn't go away. here is the good news, the most severe critics of the bill feel there's a legitimate problem with the theft of american products and jobs. my hope is that community, the technology community, and those whose productsjobs are being j
